Ikeji's post on you acquiring a
Blackberry Porsche didn't go down well
with you as you went on a twitter rant
to complain about her readers'
comments. Why?
Anybody who knows me knows I love
gadgets. I even buy gadgets before they
come out, that is how bad it is. I order
online because I want to be the first to buy
it. It's just like when they said I was a
lesbian, I am not. The fact that I sometimes
dress boyish does not mean I am a lesbian.
People who know me know that I have a
soul mate.
But what happened was that someone saw
me and said "oh, you're one of the first
Nollywood actresses to get a Porsche". He
just wanted to use it for his story but then
she twisted it and allowed her readers to
put malicious comments.
Most of the good things we do, people don't
really put it out there in the media. I do
charity, I've been doing charity even before I
joined Nollywood but it's not out there. I
made my millions even before I joined
Nollywood so somebody who doesn't know
me from nowhere cannot just sit down
there and think I'm like this because I
joined Nollywood!
But she tendered an apology to you on
Twitter… She did that because her
sisters came to my Twitter page to
insult me. Who does that?
I had to tell them to stay off, to back off.
And then she made an apology privately.
Why would she do that? If she knew the
thing they did was wrong, she should have
tendered it openly. People do that. She
then made another blog post about the
apology and people who had been looking
for ways to insult me just trooped there.
More and more Nigerian celebrities who
acquire expensive stuff now post it on
social media. Do you think this is a
show off?
It's not showing off, that is why it's called
show business. Show business is indirectly
saying showing off but that is not what I
call it. If you are in it, you have to be able
to be out there and that is the truth. In
Hollywood, they buy things and they put it
out there so why is our own different? Last
year, I got two new houses. Why didn't they
put that on the blogs? I got awards and
nominations. Why didn't they publish
that? I have built my brand to this level so
somebody can not just come from nowhere
and just poke it like some balloon. I am
made of steel, they should know that.
Have you met Linda Ikeji since then? I
haven't. I don't even know how she looks
except someone points her out to me. I
don't visit blogs. It's only when someone
sends me a link of something that was
published about me that I click on the link
to read it. I don't even read the news, I'm
that bad. It's only when I hear people
talking about something then I go and
google it.
You were also obviously upset when on
Twitter again, you responded to an
allegation that you made a comment on
her blog… At some point, someone went
to her blog using my name to make a
comment and a friend of mine called
and told me about it. Why would I do
that?
I have three Facebook accounts and a fan
page, two Twitter accounts, Instagram,
Keek, Path and I've not been able to keep up
with all of them. Why would I go to any
blog to go and write stuff? Like, who does
that? People would just say "oh, she is the
one" and then come to my Twitter page to
insult me. It's wrong. People should learn
to celebrate people.
